Board Acts on New The Clarion Male Quartet
Building Program
The, School Board met on Wed-nesday,:
January 21, in the College
building. The main business of the
meeting concerned the new build-ing
program with emphasis on an
early start of the actual construct-ion
of the Administration building.
A committee was appointed to
,loOk into the possibilities of begin-ning
the long-awaited project. Due
to present shortages and also to
necessary limitation due to the ex-pense
involved, it was suggested
that only the part of the building
containing of. offices and library
be built now, the new chapel being
left till some future date. Estimat-ed
cost of.the new building is $200,-
000.
A brief survey enrollment was
also presented. Over 70 applicat-ions
for apartments in the Hag-strom
Residence have been filed.
Enrollment for. next year is ex-
' pected to reach the 700 mark.
Big Demand For
D.V.B. S. Workers
"Already fifty requests for Bible
school teachers have been received,
and many more are yet to come
for this' summer's work," Miss
Sable announced in chapel last
Thursday morning, at which time
a plea was given for more workers
to join in Daily Vacation Bible
School work.
The requests have come from
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, and
South Dakota, and include con-ference
churches. Last year the
D. V. B. S. work was distributed
in ten states and districts conf-erences
extending from coast to
coast. Fifty-eight reports were re-ceived
from the schools indicating
a total enrollment of 2,757 boys
and girls. The average cost for the
schools was estimated at 68c per
pupil. Bethel sent out 47 workers
last summer plus additional stud-ents
who were engaged in teaching
in their own home churches. Many
others taught and conducted evan-gelistic
services who were not sent
by the school.
For those workers who are sent
out by the school to churches in
Minnesota, the Women's Union of
the Minnesota Conference contri-butes
$500 each year to a fund
which guarentees a salary of $15
per week for two-week schools,
and $20 per week for one- week
schools.
All-School Super Party
Scheduled Friday 13th
Firday, February 13, 1948 is a
date to watch for reasons other
than superstition. The Clarion staff
is planning a Super Party for the
entire school. Four themes, the
famous birthdays in February, the
superstitious date, Valentines day,
and Leap Year, will be emphasized.
Committees have been chosen and
plans are in progress for this big
event. Watch for further details.
Male Chorus Plans
Spring Concert Tour
Plans for the annual spring con-cert
tour of the Bethel Male Chorus
are well advanced now. Chorus
president Dave Carlson announced
the tentative schedule as proposed
by the Policy Committee last Wed-nesday
afternoon. The trip is to
cover a distance of over 3,500 miles
and it will include twenty-two
concerts in Conference churches
on the East Coast, as well as in
Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Chicago.
As the schedule reads now, the
tour will begin at the end of the
week after Easter and will extend
over two weeks and three week-ends.
The trip is is yet tentative,
however, as the churches concern-ed
are being contacted and nothing
fnial can be announced until they
have agreed to sponsor the con-certs.
The last time a Bethel chorus
took a comparable trip was in 1938
when the Male Chorus made a
three week swing through the
eastern churches. Quite a bit of
enthusiam has been shown by
chorus members already and a
successful tour is anticipated.
B.W.A. for February
Special feature for B. W. A. this
month includes its entire sponsor-ship
by students' wives. The func-tion
is scheduled for Friday, Feb.
13th, at 3 p.m. All women associat-ed
with Bethel are invited.
Student Council Studies
Motion Picture Prog.
Selection of a committee to in-vestigate
the possibilities of set-ting
up a motion picture program
at Bethel was made by the Student
Council at its regular monthly
meeting on January 27. The com-mittee
will make its investigation
with an aim of discovering avail-able
motion pictures which will
adhere to the Christian policy of
the College and which will prove
of interest to students.
The Council also set the follow-ing
hours for use of the skating
rink for purposes other than reg-ular
skating: 3-5 p.m., hockey; - 9-,
12 a.m., Saturdays, neighborhood
children. It is requested by the
Council that students refrain from
walking across the rink before the
snow can be scraped off after a
snowfall.
Summer School Planned ;
Forms Distributed to
Schedule Needed Courses
As in previous years, summer
school students will carry a limit-ed
schedule of not more than
twelve credit hours, and full credit
for one quarter's work will be
granted.
The Bethel Male Quartet has
again proven their worth in rep-resenting
the school. This time Bob
Sandin, Jim Rentz, Don Patet, and
Paul Leafblad took top honors in
the contest held for Male Quartets,
sponsored by the Retail Merchants
of St. Paul. Competing with other
quartets from the St. Paul area,
the "Golden Voices" of Bethel sang
their favorite Negro Spirituals,
"Climbin' up the Mountain", and
"Dry Bones", to win the contest.
Since the judges represented the
University f Minnesota, S t.
Thomas, and Macalester, it proves
that the boys must have given of
their best to receive the honors
that were given to them. As a
reward for their accomplishment
they were presented with credit,
slips from various retail stores,
worth the value in trade. Also they
sang • on the station WMIN with
the National Male Quartet from
New York on Thursday, January
29. It is a great honor for Bethel
to be able to be represented by
such a good quartet, as it has been
an honor for • the fellows to have-won
this widely publicized contest.

Harold Christenson and Lee
Kingsley of Bethel defeated a de-bate
team from St. Thomas on
Monday, January, 27. The Bethel
team took the negative side while
St. Thomas upheld the affirmative.

Election Year
Dean C. E. Carlson
COUld it be that "leap year" is "election
year" just as a matter of coincidence?
Since Sadie Hawkins seems to have been
older than George Washington, may we not
assume that the fathers who worked on the
Constitution thought it appropriate that
Sadie's year be also election year. After all,
it is the year in which to choose a man.
The 1948 episode of this story is on. From
one viewpoint it is an interesting and a rather
amusing game with some so-willing and some
so-hard-to-get, but in the midst of this comedy
are some serious considerations. The results
will be for "better or for worse," and that in
terms of top-notch values.
James Bryce, the famed nineteenth century
English student of American politics, pointed
out that, "the central problem of civic duty
is the ethical problem." He was optimistic,
"indifference, selfish interests, the excesses
of spirit, will all begin to disappear as civic
life is lifted onto a higher plane, and as the
number of those who, standing on a higher
plane, will apply a strict test to their own con-duct
and to that of their leaders What we
have called the 'better conscience' must be
grafted on to the 'wild stock' of the natural
average man." He points out that there are
times of awakening, "times of refreshing from
the presence of the Lord," in the realm of
civic participation and duty.
Bryce, and other schola'-s of his day, recog-nized
what most twentieth century politicians
seem to ignore, namely, that democracy or any
real civic life requires a spiritual and moral
basis in the people. Our political life is dif-ficult
today because of the lack of that foundat-ion
in our own nation and in other nations.
It is in order the we pray and work for a re-awakening
in these -matters. Without this
the task will be too difficult for any man.
Leap or be Left
My dear and most respected Sir:
I send you this your heart to stir.
Tis you I've chosen first of all
On whom to make my Leap Year call;
I'm giving you the foremost chance,
A home for you I will enhance.
Your heart I want, this is no jest,
I hope you'll grant my fond request.
You send me back without delay
Your answer saying yes or nay.
But if your heart does not incline
In wedlock's bond to join to mine,
Then you must Leap Year's laws obey
And me fifty dollars, or pay
Besides, kind sir, a handsome dress.
I ask no more, nor take no less.
There are few people in school who really
understand the workings for the debate squad
or just what goes on in a debate tournament.
So while imbibing my favorite beverage, called
by some, coffee, I shall attempt to throw some
light on the subject.
Every person in school is eligible to par-ticipate
in the club's activities. As a matter
of fact we are plagued by lack of personnel.
No position is assured by anyone and orginial
selection of teams is made on a basis of in-dividual
ability and the judgment of the coach.
From then, positions depend upon the amount
of, points scored by each team and also by
each individual in the various club activities.
In addition to actual debate there are many
other fields which we enter in the various
tournaments. Some of these are oratory, de-clamation,
extemporaneous speaking, after din-ner
speaking, and news broadcasting.
Now what good is all this going to do you?
Actually it largely depends upon how much
effort and time you can spend on the subject.
But at the very minimum it will give you
opportunity to participate in several tourna-ments
and the trips that go with them, which
are in themselves a lot of fun. Then you get
to meet some of the finest young people in
the entire Northwest. Really, the crowd that
you find around debate tournaments is one
swell gang. In addition to the actual pleasure
involved, forensic competition will actually
benefit you personally. It broadens your mind,
teaches you to think on your feet, improves
your speaking ability no end, throws a new
light on world affairs, and last of all teaches
you to think clearly and respect the other
fellow's opinion. So come one, come all—go to
the nearest debate coach (Mr. S. Schultz) and
get all the particulars.
H. Christenson.
.eity 20avid Glia4/24
By Dave Carlson
With due respect to Prof. Engwall, who so
graciously gave me a passing grade last year, I
would like . to pass on this morsel of foolosophy
which I gleaned from a contemporary school
publication :
Two birds were sitting on a pump handle.
One turned to the other and said, "Let's fly
south." "No", said the other, "let's eat first."
They flew to a nearby house and proceeded to
stuff themselves from the kitchen table. They
returned to the pumb handle. Once again the
first bird said, "Let's fly south." "OK," said
the other so they took off, flew ten feet, then
dropped dead. The moral of the story is—never
fly off the handle when you're full of baloney.
(Take note, "glorious" Morrie.)
FOR RENT: One dining hall, between the
hours of 11:45 and 1:10 every week-day. For-mer
occupants, after tiring of hash, stew and
spaghetti, may now be found enjoying their
meals at Henry's.
You may think this letter funny,
But I must have man or money.
So please send me your reply;
I'll be your wife until I die.
If you think I am a dandy,
Send to me a box of candy,
If the writer's name you guess,
Send your answer to her address.
If for me there is no hope,
Send to me six yards of rope.
With all sorts of love and kisses
From one who wants to be your Mrs.
ur faithful utbe
"Thus saith the Lord, thy Redeemer, the
Holy One of Israel; I am the Lord thy God
which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth
thee by the way that thou shouldest go." Isaiah
48:17
As Christians we need have no fears as we
journey along life's changing way. We are
sure of our leader; He is sure of the way. He
has identified Himself as the Lord, our Re-deemer,
as the Holy One of Israel. He knows
the country through which we journey; He
knows the dangers which could beset us. He
leads us to the still waters by which we may
rest. He knows whether our traveling days
be few or many. We do not know the answers
to the questions of life, but our Leader knows,
and we follow Him.
The journey should be profitable for time
and for eternity. Each new experience, each
turn of the road should open to us rich
truths. The Lord, our God, makes the op-portunities
and the privileges evident. He
patiently teaches us to profit by the lessons
of life even though we may be slow in learn-ing.
At times the road may seem a little narrow,
we cannot see far ahead, the clouds hang low,
there are too many deep valleys, there are
too few mountain-top experiences, and it takes
too much effort to get up the steep mountain
side. We see an interesting looking side path
which looks at if it might lead to a sunny
land of care and pleasure. The Guide knows
all and calls us back with firm but loving
voice. He reminds us that He is the Lord and
it is He who leads us in the way that we
should go. Instead of looking to the side
paths, we fix our eyes upon our Lord, and
resign ourselves to His guidance.
"Lord I would clasp Thy hand in mine,
Nor ever murmur or repine,
Content, whatever lot I see,
Since 'tis my God that leadeth me."
Effie Nelson
CAMPUS CAPERS: Overheard two co-eds
discussing the man-shortage. One suggested
they try their luck at a "January cl(e)arence
Sale" while the other wanted to wait until
Dayton's offered an "August Fur Sale."
Imagine, if you can, the consternation of the
juvenile court judge in Minneapolis when Bob
Mantzke was hauled before the bar of justice
for a traffic violation recently. They really
raise the teen-agers big, don't they? The
hopes of the quartet to buy tuxedoes with
their $25 merchancise certificates were sud-denly
dashed to the ground when Don Patet
received his award from a furniture store.
Perhaps, Don, you can buy a chair for "dem
dry bones."
PERSONALS TO:
1. Audrey Carlson: As yet we have no Male
Chorus music arranged which includes
your voice range.
2. Carolyn Hedberg: There's a law against
women butchers. Take it easy on Freddy's
curly locks hereafter.
3. Stanley Peterson: Your church literally
"showers" you with attention, don't they?
However, those booties were not for you.
4. Moorees Engstrom: You may be forward
in that basketball game but remember,
I'll be on my guard.
With romance in the back of most girls'
minds this Leap Year, did you hear about the
owl and the goat who married? In due time,
they had an offspring a hootnanny.
PLATFORM FOR TODAY: Four things
come not back: the spoken word; the sped

Brass in the Ring Clarion Staff vs Faculty
by C. A. Appelquist
In order to understand, to pro-perly
evaluate the military mind
and its functioning, one must con-sider
the undeniable fact that care-er
military men are trained for
only one purpose—war. From the
initial drill-ground to the military
science classroom to the officer's
club to tax-free retirement the
soldier is trained for soldiering,
for organization, for efficiency, for
blind devotion to iron discipline. If
the ambitious embryo brass ever
cherishes any illusions of freedom
of thought or action, he soon must
cast them aside and permit his
mind to be molded into the "Mili-tary
Pattern." With few exceptions
there is no reward in the service
for initiative, for objectivity, or for
free-thinking. Because this disci-pline,
this Pattern, this chain-of
command procedure is the "god"
of the military, I do not believe
that any man who receives his
total education at West Point (or
Annapolis or Virginia Military In-stitute)
and spends a career life-time
in the service can really
KNOW our country. He would be
an exceptionally rare man, indeed,
who with this experience could
actually, in his heart and his mind,
feel the pulse of America. The
American people want a man in
the White House who is fully ac-quainted
with and in sympathy
with the American system of de-mocratic
processes; a man who has
a supreme respect for civil rights
and individual freedom; a man who
knows something of the personal
troubles and aspirations of little
John Q. Public. My contention is
that career military men lack this
proper background.
Last week Dwight Eisenhower
apparently realized (reluctantly?)
"man-in-the-street's" desires was
the impossible cost of the presiden-cy.
The General said: "It is my
that the breach between his ex-perience
and ambition and the
conviction that the necessary sub-ordination
of the military to the
civil power will be best sustained
when lifelong soliders, in the
absence of some obvious and over-riding
reasons, abstain from seek-ing
high political office."
—Wise words from the Brass for
the Brass.
Spanish Club
Spanish Club held its monthly
meeting last Monday evening in
the club room of Edgren Residence.
David Tutt, president of the group,
presided. Chorus singing as Spanol
was enjoyed. Professor Engwall
presented his colored films taken
in and around Mexico City, Mexico.
Alexis
The Alexis Society will hold a
discussion period Tuesday evening,
February 10, at 8:00 p.m., in the
Seminary chapel. "Concept of Child
Evangelism" is the stated subject
for consideration.
What and Why
In the belief that every good four
year school should have varied
time honored traditions, the CLAR-ION
staff this year has undertaken
the task of presenting the Coffee
Cup Game which we hope will be-come
an annual event in our school
year.
This sports program is designed
to fulfill a two-fold purpose on our
campus. One aim is to provide good
entertainment for our fellow stud-ents,
and the other, which is per-haps
more important, is to promote
a spirit of good fellowship and un-derstanding
between the faculty
and student body.
Whether traditions are created
or "just catch on" without any
planning is a debatable question,
but we belive there must be a
begining somewhere. To this end
we wish to serve our school.

Bethel Takes
8th Conf. Win
On Monday nite of this week the
Indians defeated Dr. Martin Luther
College by a score of 75 to 53. The
Indians had little trouble with the
boys from New Ulm, and Coach
Edwards substituted freely in giv-ing
all his boys a chance to play.
Sandberg and Greenman led the
scoring with 19 and 17 points re-spectively.
The above sketch represents the
Coffee Cup Trophy that will be
presented to the winner of the
First Annual Coffee Cup Game to
be played between Clarion Staff
and the Faculty tonight in the col-lege
gym.
The trophy, which stands ap-proximately
eighteen inches high,
was designed by Dave Osterberg,
Clarion Sports Editor, and con-structed
by Ralph Jacobson.
Sports Sketch
Our sports personality for this
week is Wayne Peterson. Wayne is
twenty years old and is now a
sophomore in school. Following his
freshman year here in '45, he spent
a year and a half in the army.
Wayne graduated from Braham
High School in Braham, Minnesota.
While there he earned three letters
in basketball, two in football, and
four in baseball. As a freshman,
he captained Bethel's '46 basketball
team to the league championship.
Once again this year Wayne is
back at his old forward position,
where his continual scoring threat
and fine ball handling have been
making him a standout.
Wayne is a member of the Beth-lehem
Chapel in Minneapolis. At
present his plans are to go into
coaching and teaching as his life
work.

Play with Teachers
Tonight Bethel sport fans will be
treated to an evening of unusual
entertainment. Basketball, long the
favorite sport of Bethel College,
will be the feature attraction on
the program.
In the preliminary game the Bet-hel
Squaws, led by high-scoring
Doris Richert, will play the girls'
team of the CLARION.
In the main event Coach Ed-wards
will lead the Faculty team
against the CLARION staff in what
should prove to be a rugged con-test.
TABLE TENNIS AND MUSIC
Between the halves of the basket-ball/
games table tennis, another
sport that is fast gaining popular-ity
on the campus will be present-ed.
Lewis Schultz, Bob Schwartz,
Johnny Dischinger, a n d Kenny
Greenman will be the contestants
in several exhibition matches.
Plans have been made to install
a public address system and a
record player to add to the en-joyment
of the spectators. Rousing
band music and interviews of fac-ulty
members and students promise
a full evening of fun and laughter.
Indians Win
Two, Lose One
BETHEL 50—BETHANY 40
On Friday nite, January 23, the
Indians extended their conference
winning streak by trouncing Beth-any
Junior College 50 to 40 in a

once again and came up with an
easy 35 to 16 win over the Bethany
"B" team in the preliminary game.
BETHEL 38—AUSTIN 32
The Indians met and defeated
Austin Junior College 38 to 32 in
a game played at Macalester gym-nasium

stopped by the Yellowjackets from
Rochester Junior College in a game

gymnasium. Score 32 to 29. It
was just one of those nites for the
Indians when the lid seemed to
be on the basket. This was Bethel's
first conference loss and dropped
them back into a tie for first place
with Austin.

Washington Vet Makes
Good Despite Blindness
A Washington state veteran who
emerged unscratched after three
years of fighting in the Pacific,
only to be blinded in an accident
six months after his discharge, is
determined not to let his handicap
interfere with his plans to become
a lawyer.
Aided by a machine that cuts
recordings of classroom lectures,
he is studying pre-law at Olympic
Junior College i n Bremerton,
Wash., under the Servicemen's

Ineligible for training under the

Law 16) because his disability
occurred after his discharge, the
veteran-23-year-old Kenneth Elf-brandt—
is taking 21 hours of work
per week at the college, six hours
more than required.
The reason for his heavy sched-ule
is that he hopes to enter the

Colgate Leads in
Lowell's Poll
Lowell Hendrickson tends to
make a 'habit of having his state-ments
challenged and then to go
running up and down the halls of
the men's dormitory trying to find
someone who agrees with him. One
night last week, this man of con-troversy
went knocking on dorm
doors gathering statistics f o r
another big point that he was going
to prove. What his point was and
whether or not he pfoved it isn't
so important, but as to the type of
tooth paste and powder used by 78
residents of the men's dorm, he
got the following report: Colgate-
51, Pepsodent-8, Ipana-4, Lister-ine-

Grrirr. I took notes all week on
what I was going to write about
this week and DOW I can't find
them. If somorno finds some bits
of paper that have a bunch of
marks on them, that's it. That's
w hat I need for news.
This junk has been carried on
long enough. Just about every
week I happen to glance at Old
man Harps column??? he's tossing
some slam about what I try to do
to fill up space in the paper. You
people better not come to the
Faculty-Clarion basketball game....
Please stay away, will ya? It would
be too bad to have all of you there
when I toss this guy Dave Harps
through the basket.
Overheard at the basketball
game: Eve Johnson : Please run up
the score so my brother will be
able to play. P. S. They did and he
did
This week is "Be kind to the
dishwashers" week. It has been
suggested that if you just happen
to have some food left over pile
all the food in the teaspoon in-stead
of all over the tray.
Library News: Snooped in the
library today and saw some things
that looked new. A clock, 2 chained
pencils, phonograph records, a
lamp, new book rack, paper rack,
magazine racket, some date due
cards, and a big chart on how to
find a book. Which brings me to
the Joke of the Week: Heard that
our Miss Axeen first wanted to be
a surgeon, but now she is our
librarian instead. When nobody is
looking she sneaks a book off the
shelf and cuts out the appendix.

Scene from the Sophomore-Junior Retreat, Camp Ihduhapi, Jan. 23-25. From
left to right these "Retreaters" are: Olof Lindstedt, Marge Ostrom, Nancy
Malland, Adelle Bavin, and Bud Peterson.
Board Acts on New The Clarion Male Quartet
Building Program
The, School Board met on Wed-nesday,:
January 21, in the College
building. The main business of the
meeting concerned the new build-ing
program with emphasis on an
early start of the actual construct-ion
of the Administration building.
A committee was appointed to
,loOk into the possibilities of begin-ning
the long-awaited project. Due
to present shortages and also to
necessary limitation due to the ex-pense
involved, it was suggested
that only the part of the building
containing of. offices and library
be built now, the new chapel being
left till some future date. Estimat-ed
cost of.the new building is $200,-
000.
A brief survey enrollment was
also presented. Over 70 applicat-ions
for apartments in the Hag-strom
Residence have been filed.
Enrollment for. next year is ex-
' pected to reach the 700 mark.
Big Demand For
D.V.B. S. Workers
"Already fifty requests for Bible
school teachers have been received,
and many more are yet to come
for this' summer's work," Miss
Sable announced in chapel last
Thursday morning, at which time
a plea was given for more workers
to join in Daily Vacation Bible
School work.
The requests have come from
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, and
South Dakota, and include con-ference
churches. Last year the
D. V. B. S. work was distributed
in ten states and districts conf-erences
extending from coast to
coast. Fifty-eight reports were re-ceived
from the schools indicating
a total enrollment of 2,757 boys
and girls. The average cost for the
schools was estimated at 68c per
pupil. Bethel sent out 47 workers
last summer plus additional stud-ents
who were engaged in teaching
in their own home churches. Many
others taught and conducted evan-gelistic
services who were not sent
by the school.
For those workers who are sent
out by the school to churches in
Minnesota, the Women's Union of
the Minnesota Conference contri-butes
$500 each year to a fund
which guarentees a salary of $15
per week for two-week schools,
and $20 per week for one- week
schools.
All-School Super Party
Scheduled Friday 13th
Firday, February 13, 1948 is a
date to watch for reasons other
than superstition. The Clarion staff
is planning a Super Party for the
entire school. Four themes, the
famous birthdays in February, the
superstitious date, Valentines day,
and Leap Year, will be emphasized.
Committees have been chosen and
plans are in progress for this big
event. Watch for further details.
Male Chorus Plans
Spring Concert Tour
Plans for the annual spring con-cert
tour of the Bethel Male Chorus
are well advanced now. Chorus
president Dave Carlson announced
the tentative schedule as proposed
by the Policy Committee last Wed-nesday
afternoon. The trip is to
cover a distance of over 3,500 miles
and it will include twenty-two
concerts in Conference churches
on the East Coast, as well as in
Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Chicago.
As the schedule reads now, the
tour will begin at the end of the
week after Easter and will extend
over two weeks and three week-ends.
The trip is is yet tentative,
however, as the churches concern-ed
are being contacted and nothing
fnial can be announced until they
have agreed to sponsor the con-certs.
The last time a Bethel chorus
took a comparable trip was in 1938
when the Male Chorus made a
three week swing through the
eastern churches. Quite a bit of
enthusiam has been shown by
chorus members already and a
successful tour is anticipated.
B.W.A. for February
Special feature for B. W. A. this
month includes its entire sponsor-ship
by students' wives. The func-tion
is scheduled for Friday, Feb.
13th, at 3 p.m. All women associat-ed
with Bethel are invited.
Student Council Studies
Motion Picture Prog.
Selection of a committee to in-vestigate
the possibilities of set-ting
up a motion picture program
at Bethel was made by the Student
Council at its regular monthly
meeting on January 27. The com-mittee
will make its investigation
with an aim of discovering avail-able
motion pictures which will
adhere to the Christian policy of
the College and which will prove
of interest to students.
The Council also set the follow-ing
hours for use of the skating
rink for purposes other than reg-ular
skating: 3-5 p.m., hockey; - 9-,
12 a.m., Saturdays, neighborhood
children. It is requested by the
Council that students refrain from
walking across the rink before the
snow can be scraped off after a
snowfall.
Summer School Planned ;
Forms Distributed to
Schedule Needed Courses
As in previous years, summer
school students will carry a limit-ed
schedule of not more than
twelve credit hours, and full credit
for one quarter's work will be
granted.
The Bethel Male Quartet has
again proven their worth in rep-resenting
the school. This time Bob
Sandin, Jim Rentz, Don Patet, and
Paul Leafblad took top honors in
the contest held for Male Quartets,
sponsored by the Retail Merchants
of St. Paul. Competing with other
quartets from the St. Paul area,
the "Golden Voices" of Bethel sang
their favorite Negro Spirituals,
"Climbin' up the Mountain", and
"Dry Bones", to win the contest.
Since the judges represented the
University f Minnesota, S t.
Thomas, and Macalester, it proves
that the boys must have given of
their best to receive the honors
that were given to them. As a
reward for their accomplishment
they were presented with credit,
slips from various retail stores,
worth the value in trade. Also they
sang • on the station WMIN with
the National Male Quartet from
New York on Thursday, January
29. It is a great honor for Bethel
to be able to be represented by
such a good quartet, as it has been
an honor for • the fellows to have-won
this widely publicized contest.
Ironside Speaks

Februray 20th, was in vogue.
Bethel's Debate Squad
Defeats St. Thomas
Harold Christenson and Lee
Kingsley of Bethel defeated a de-bate
team from St. Thomas on
Monday, January, 27. The Bethel
team took the negative side while
St. Thomas upheld the affirmative.

Election Year
Dean C. E. Carlson
COUld it be that "leap year" is "election
year" just as a matter of coincidence?
Since Sadie Hawkins seems to have been
older than George Washington, may we not
assume that the fathers who worked on the
Constitution thought it appropriate that
Sadie's year be also election year. After all,
it is the year in which to choose a man.
The 1948 episode of this story is on. From
one viewpoint it is an interesting and a rather
amusing game with some so-willing and some
so-hard-to-get, but in the midst of this comedy
are some serious considerations. The results
will be for "better or for worse," and that in
terms of top-notch values.
James Bryce, the famed nineteenth century
English student of American politics, pointed
out that, "the central problem of civic duty
is the ethical problem." He was optimistic,
"indifference, selfish interests, the excesses
of spirit, will all begin to disappear as civic
life is lifted onto a higher plane, and as the
number of those who, standing on a higher
plane, will apply a strict test to their own con-duct
and to that of their leaders What we
have called the 'better conscience' must be
grafted on to the 'wild stock' of the natural
average man." He points out that there are
times of awakening, "times of refreshing from
the presence of the Lord," in the realm of
civic participation and duty.
Bryce, and other schola'-s of his day, recog-nized
what most twentieth century politicians
seem to ignore, namely, that democracy or any
real civic life requires a spiritual and moral
basis in the people. Our political life is dif-ficult
today because of the lack of that foundat-ion
in our own nation and in other nations.
It is in order the we pray and work for a re-awakening
in these -matters. Without this
the task will be too difficult for any man.
Leap or be Left
My dear and most respected Sir:
I send you this your heart to stir.
Tis you I've chosen first of all
On whom to make my Leap Year call;
I'm giving you the foremost chance,
A home for you I will enhance.
Your heart I want, this is no jest,
I hope you'll grant my fond request.
You send me back without delay
Your answer saying yes or nay.
But if your heart does not incline
In wedlock's bond to join to mine,
Then you must Leap Year's laws obey
And me fifty dollars, or pay
Besides, kind sir, a handsome dress.
I ask no more, nor take no less.
There are few people in school who really
understand the workings for the debate squad
or just what goes on in a debate tournament.
So while imbibing my favorite beverage, called
by some, coffee, I shall attempt to throw some
light on the subject.
Every person in school is eligible to par-ticipate
in the club's activities. As a matter
of fact we are plagued by lack of personnel.
No position is assured by anyone and orginial
selection of teams is made on a basis of in-dividual
ability and the judgment of the coach.
From then, positions depend upon the amount
of, points scored by each team and also by
each individual in the various club activities.
In addition to actual debate there are many
other fields which we enter in the various
tournaments. Some of these are oratory, de-clamation,
extemporaneous speaking, after din-ner
speaking, and news broadcasting.
Now what good is all this going to do you?
Actually it largely depends upon how much
effort and time you can spend on the subject.
But at the very minimum it will give you
opportunity to participate in several tourna-ments
and the trips that go with them, which
are in themselves a lot of fun. Then you get
to meet some of the finest young people in
the entire Northwest. Really, the crowd that
you find around debate tournaments is one
swell gang. In addition to the actual pleasure
involved, forensic competition will actually
benefit you personally. It broadens your mind,
teaches you to think on your feet, improves
your speaking ability no end, throws a new
light on world affairs, and last of all teaches
you to think clearly and respect the other
fellow's opinion. So come one, come all—go to
the nearest debate coach (Mr. S. Schultz) and
get all the particulars.
H. Christenson.

By Dave Carlson
With due respect to Prof. Engwall, who so
graciously gave me a passing grade last year, I
would like . to pass on this morsel of foolosophy
which I gleaned from a contemporary school
publication :
Two birds were sitting on a pump handle.
One turned to the other and said, "Let's fly
south." "No", said the other, "let's eat first."
They flew to a nearby house and proceeded to
stuff themselves from the kitchen table. They
returned to the pumb handle. Once again the
first bird said, "Let's fly south." "OK," said
the other so they took off, flew ten feet, then
dropped dead. The moral of the story is—never
fly off the handle when you're full of baloney.
(Take note, "glorious" Morrie.)
FOR RENT: One dining hall, between the
hours of 11:45 and 1:10 every week-day. For-mer
occupants, after tiring of hash, stew and
spaghetti, may now be found enjoying their
meals at Henry's.
You may think this letter funny,
But I must have man or money.
So please send me your reply;
I'll be your wife until I die.
If you think I am a dandy,
Send to me a box of candy,
If the writer's name you guess,
Send your answer to her address.
If for me there is no hope,
Send to me six yards of rope.
With all sorts of love and kisses
From one who wants to be your Mrs.
ur faithful utbe
"Thus saith the Lord, thy Redeemer, the
Holy One of Israel; I am the Lord thy God
which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth
thee by the way that thou shouldest go." Isaiah
48:17
As Christians we need have no fears as we
journey along life's changing way. We are
sure of our leader; He is sure of the way. He
has identified Himself as the Lord, our Re-deemer,
as the Holy One of Israel. He knows
the country through which we journey; He
knows the dangers which could beset us. He
leads us to the still waters by which we may
rest. He knows whether our traveling days
be few or many. We do not know the answers
to the questions of life, but our Leader knows,
and we follow Him.
The journey should be profitable for time
and for eternity. Each new experience, each
turn of the road should open to us rich
truths. The Lord, our God, makes the op-portunities
and the privileges evident. He
patiently teaches us to profit by the lessons
of life even though we may be slow in learn-ing.
At times the road may seem a little narrow,
we cannot see far ahead, the clouds hang low,
there are too many deep valleys, there are
too few mountain-top experiences, and it takes
too much effort to get up the steep mountain
side. We see an interesting looking side path
which looks at if it might lead to a sunny
land of care and pleasure. The Guide knows
all and calls us back with firm but loving
voice. He reminds us that He is the Lord and
it is He who leads us in the way that we
should go. Instead of looking to the side
paths, we fix our eyes upon our Lord, and
resign ourselves to His guidance.
"Lord I would clasp Thy hand in mine,
Nor ever murmur or repine,
Content, whatever lot I see,
Since 'tis my God that leadeth me."
Effie Nelson
CAMPUS CAPERS: Overheard two co-eds
discussing the man-shortage. One suggested
they try their luck at a "January cl(e)arence
Sale" while the other wanted to wait until
Dayton's offered an "August Fur Sale."
Imagine, if you can, the consternation of the
juvenile court judge in Minneapolis when Bob
Mantzke was hauled before the bar of justice
for a traffic violation recently. They really
raise the teen-agers big, don't they? The
hopes of the quartet to buy tuxedoes with
their $25 merchancise certificates were sud-denly
dashed to the ground when Don Patet
received his award from a furniture store.
Perhaps, Don, you can buy a chair for "dem
dry bones."
PERSONALS TO:
1. Audrey Carlson: As yet we have no Male
Chorus music arranged which includes
your voice range.
2. Carolyn Hedberg: There's a law against
women butchers. Take it easy on Freddy's
curly locks hereafter.
3. Stanley Peterson: Your church literally
"showers" you with attention, don't they?
However, those booties were not for you.
4. Moorees Engstrom: You may be forward
in that basketball game but remember,
I'll be on my guard.
With romance in the back of most girls'
minds this Leap Year, did you hear about the
owl and the goat who married? In due time,
they had an offspring a hootnanny.
PLATFORM FOR TODAY: Four things
come not back: the spoken word; the sped

THE CLARION Page 3
Brass in the Ring Clarion Staff vs Faculty
by C. A. Appelquist
In order to understand, to pro-perly
evaluate the military mind
and its functioning, one must con-sider
the undeniable fact that care-er
military men are trained for
only one purpose—war. From the
initial drill-ground to the military
science classroom to the officer's
club to tax-free retirement the
soldier is trained for soldiering,
for organization, for efficiency, for
blind devotion to iron discipline. If
the ambitious embryo brass ever
cherishes any illusions of freedom
of thought or action, he soon must
cast them aside and permit his
mind to be molded into the "Mili-tary
Pattern." With few exceptions
there is no reward in the service
for initiative, for objectivity, or for
free-thinking. Because this disci-pline,
this Pattern, this chain-of
command procedure is the "god"
of the military, I do not believe
that any man who receives his
total education at West Point (or
Annapolis or Virginia Military In-stitute)
and spends a career life-time
in the service can really
KNOW our country. He would be
an exceptionally rare man, indeed,
who with this experience could
actually, in his heart and his mind,
feel the pulse of America. The
American people want a man in
the White House who is fully ac-quainted
with and in sympathy
with the American system of de-mocratic
processes; a man who has
a supreme respect for civil rights
and individual freedom; a man who
knows something of the personal
troubles and aspirations of little
John Q. Public. My contention is
that career military men lack this
proper background.
Last week Dwight Eisenhower
apparently realized (reluctantly?)
"man-in-the-street's" desires was
the impossible cost of the presiden-cy.
The General said: "It is my
that the breach between his ex-perience
and ambition and the
conviction that the necessary sub-ordination
of the military to the
civil power will be best sustained
when lifelong soliders, in the
absence of some obvious and over-riding
reasons, abstain from seek-ing
high political office."
—Wise words from the Brass for
the Brass.
Spanish Club
Spanish Club held its monthly
meeting last Monday evening in
the club room of Edgren Residence.
David Tutt, president of the group,
presided. Chorus singing as Spanol
was enjoyed. Professor Engwall
presented his colored films taken
in and around Mexico City, Mexico.
Alexis
The Alexis Society will hold a
discussion period Tuesday evening,
February 10, at 8:00 p.m., in the
Seminary chapel. "Concept of Child
Evangelism" is the stated subject
for consideration.
What and Why
In the belief that every good four
year school should have varied
time honored traditions, the CLAR-ION
staff this year has undertaken
the task of presenting the Coffee
Cup Game which we hope will be-come
an annual event in our school
year.
This sports program is designed
to fulfill a two-fold purpose on our
campus. One aim is to provide good
entertainment for our fellow stud-ents,
and the other, which is per-haps
more important, is to promote
a spirit of good fellowship and un-derstanding
between the faculty
and student body.
Whether traditions are created
or "just catch on" without any
planning is a debatable question,
but we belive there must be a
begining somewhere. To this end
we wish to serve our school.

the Bethel varsity basketball team
will leave for Sioux Falls, S. D.
to play Sioux Falls College in a
non-conference game Saturday nite.
Last year Sioux Falls topped the
Indians 49 to 45 in the game played
there, and then came up here and
eked out a 67 to 65 win again.
Sunday the team will visit the
General Conference Baptist Church
in Sioux Falls where the Bethel
Male Quartette is scheduled to
sing.
Monday the team will head to
the Twin Cities, stopping in at
Tracy, Minn. to play Tracy Junior
College in a conference game Mon-day
nite.
Bethel Takes
8th Conf. Win
On Monday nite of this week the
Indians defeated Dr. Martin Luther
College by a score of 75 to 53. The
Indians had little trouble with the
boys from New Ulm, and Coach
Edwards substituted freely in giv-ing
all his boys a chance to play.
Sandberg and Greenman led the
scoring with 19 and 17 points re-spectively.
The above sketch represents the
Coffee Cup Trophy that will be
presented to the winner of the
First Annual Coffee Cup Game to
be played between Clarion Staff
and the Faculty tonight in the col-lege
gym.
The trophy, which stands ap-proximately
eighteen inches high,
was designed by Dave Osterberg,
Clarion Sports Editor, and con-structed
by Ralph Jacobson.
Sports Sketch
Our sports personality for this
week is Wayne Peterson. Wayne is
twenty years old and is now a
sophomore in school. Following his
freshman year here in '45, he spent
a year and a half in the army.
Wayne graduated from Braham
High School in Braham, Minnesota.
While there he earned three letters
in basketball, two in football, and
four in baseball. As a freshman,
he captained Bethel's '46 basketball
team to the league championship.
Once again this year Wayne is
back at his old forward position,
where his continual scoring threat
and fine ball handling have been
making him a standout.
Wayne is a member of the Beth-lehem
Chapel in Minneapolis. At
present his plans are to go into
coaching and teaching as his life
work.

Washington Vet Makes
Good Despite Blindness
A Washington state veteran who
emerged unscratched after three
years of fighting in the Pacific,
only to be blinded in an accident
six months after his discharge, is
determined not to let his handicap
interfere with his plans to become
a lawyer.
Aided by a machine that cuts
recordings of classroom lectures,
he is studying pre-law at Olympic
Junior College i n Bremerton,
Wash., under the Servicemen's
Readjustment Act (G-I Bill).
Ineligible for training under the
Vocational Rehabilitation Act (Pub-lic
Law 16) because his disability
occurred after his discharge, the
veteran-23-year-old Kenneth Elf-brandt—
is taking 21 hours of work
per week at the college, six hours
more than required.
The reason for his heavy sched-ule
is that he hopes to enter the
University o f Washington la w
school in the fall of 1948.
Colgate Leads in
Lowell's Poll
Lowell Hendrickson tends to
make a 'habit of having his state-ments
challenged and then to go
running up and down the halls of
the men's dormitory trying to find
someone who agrees with him. One
night last week, this man of con-troversy
went knocking on dorm
doors gathering statistics f o r
another big point that he was going
to prove. What his point was and
whether or not he pfoved it isn't
so important, but as to the type of
tooth paste and powder used by 78
residents of the men's dorm, he
got the following report: Colgate-
51, Pepsodent-8, Ipana-4, Lister-ine-
4, Squib-2, Dr. West-1, Rev-elation-
1, Dr. Lyons-1, Milk of
Magnesia-1, Pebeco-1, Dox-1,
Baking Powder-1, Salt-1.

Grrirr. I took notes all week on
what I was going to write about
this week and DOW I can't find
them. If somorno finds some bits
of paper that have a bunch of
marks on them, that's it. That's
w hat I need for news.
This junk has been carried on
long enough. Just about every
week I happen to glance at Old
man Harps column??? he's tossing
some slam about what I try to do
to fill up space in the paper. You
people better not come to the
Faculty-Clarion basketball game....
Please stay away, will ya? It would
be too bad to have all of you there
when I toss this guy Dave Harps
through the basket.
Overheard at the basketball
game: Eve Johnson : Please run up
the score so my brother will be
able to play. P. S. They did and he
did
This week is "Be kind to the
dishwashers" week. It has been
suggested that if you just happen
to have some food left over pile
all the food in the teaspoon in-stead
of all over the tray.
Library News: Snooped in the
library today and saw some things
that looked new. A clock, 2 chained
pencils, phonograph records, a
lamp, new book rack, paper rack,
magazine racket, some date due
cards, and a big chart on how to
find a book. Which brings me to
the Joke of the Week: Heard that
our Miss Axeen first wanted to be
a surgeon, but now she is our
librarian instead. When nobody is
looking she sneaks a book off the
shelf and cuts out the appendix.
